The Social Studies Professional (TSSP)*

The Social Studies Professional known as TSSP is the official newsletter of National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS). We send it by email to all of our members 24 times per year (2 times per month). The current issue and past issues are also posted at the NCSS website, at www.socialstudies.org/publications/TSSP. Generally, we will email the newsletter during the second week (issue A in the chart below) and the last week (issue B) of each month, with variations for holidays.

*** Background about the Online TSSP Newsletter and its Advertisements ***

Top and Mid-Page Ads. Premium advertisements appears as the top-most banner or the item below the news section.

End-Page Ads. A regular advertisement (or more than one) may appear as the final item(s) below the stack of news and announcements. There is no discount for multiple issues. Readers may have to scroll down the newsletter before seeing these ads. The stacked order of regular ads will reflect the time at which NCSS reserved them, with the earliest appearing above the next reserved, and so on.

NCSS uses MailChimp to deliver the online TSSP newsletter. MailChimp advises: Avoid animated GIFS and Flash, which are not guaranteed to work. Use static images at the main ad in your campaign. (b) Avoid using JavaScript in your ad links, most email clients block it as a security precaution. (c) Avoid links for Google’s DoubleClick ads, which often break when used in MailChimp campaigns, or you might not be able to track them. This is due to the way the DoubleClick URL interacts with MailChimp redirects.

The Conference Preview will be mailed to all NCSS and NCGE members and more than 32,000 social studies and geography teachers in Texas in August 2019, to generate interest in attending the 2019 NCSS/NCGE/TCSS Conference. The Preview will also be available on the NCSS website as a PDF for prospective attendees to download. Reserve your space today.

The Conference Program will be distributed to all attendees of the 2019 NCSS/NCGE/TCSS Conference in Austin. Advertising in the Program is the best way to ensure maximum exposure for your products and services, and to build booth traffic. The Program is the official guide to the conference, and includes the exhibit hall floor plan and exhibitor listings.

*Tabbed Sections Dividers. Tabbed section dividers are of heavier weight paper stock with a tab that sticks out and holds the place of a special position in the Program. Advertisers can put their message on both sides of the divider. The tab must reference the specific section it begins. The available sections are “Sessions,” “Exhibits,” and “Index/Maps”

Reserve a tear-out coupon in the back of the program book for attendees to redeem at your exhibit booth. Exhibitors who provide special offers, prizes, or gifts, experience heavier traffic and report better show results. Coupons are also a great way to gather more qualified leads.

Your offers will be printed on both sides of perforated, card stock—three coupons to a page—for one low price! Space is limited, so reserve your coupon today!
Fee: One coupon, $450; two or more $375 each
